Tell FDA: Add a Warning Label on Unfortified Corn Masa Flour!
Submit a Salud America! model comment to support a citizen petition asking the FDA to require a warning label on unfortified corn masa flour to help prevent birth defects like spina bifida!
Are the corn masa products you eat fortified with folic acid?
Because too many babies in the Latino community suffer from birth defects like spina bifida, UnidosUS and its partners submitted a citizen petition asking the FDA to require a warning label on unfortified corn masa flour and products.
The warning would alert consumers when corn masa flour, tortilla chips, tamales, or other corn masa products do not contain adequate folic acid. A lack of folic acid can increase the risk of a serious birth defect if a woman becomes pregnant.
